| Help: How to design for Europe. Currently using UK postcodes We need to expand the sales system to include rest of Europe. Doing preliminary research, I have discovered that a) There are no postcodes available for some European countries b) Postcodes are available for some countries but are unreliable c) Longitude/Latitude is best solution in mapping a pushpin My questions are a) What is the best way we can expand our current system to include Europe b) Is there a document listing Longitude/Latitudes for European countries/towns/roads etc. c) Does Mappoint return Longitude/Latitude as well postal sector when an address is supplied using objmap.FindAddressResults? Thanks in advance          |

For question (c), MapPoint currently only returns a longitude/latitude coordinate for a location if that location was located with a longitude/latitude coordinate! Luckily, it is possible to calculate a coordinate using a bit of geometry. Search the Articles section of this website for a routine called "CalcPos" by Gilles Kohl. Also, I hear that MapPoint 2006 has better Longitude,Latitude support although I don't know the details yet... Richard
